Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) has a narrow germplasm base, which constrains
marker development and hampers intraspecific breeding. A pressing need exists for high …

The presence of two closely related subgenomes in the allotetraploid Upland cotton,
combined with a narrow genetic base of the cultivated varieties, has hindered the …

The objective of this study was to explore the known narrow genetic diversity and discover
single-nucleotide polymorphic (SNP) markers for marker-assisted breeding within Pima …

Varietal single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the differences within one of the two
subgenomes between different tetraploid cotton varieties and have not been practically used …

Background Cotton germplasm resources contain beneficial alleles that can be exploited to
develop germplasm adapted to emerging environmental and climate conditions. Accessions …

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is the single most important spinning fiber that has economic
significance worldwide. Cotton is one of the most value-added crops and an excellent model …

A narrow germplasm base and a complex allotetraploid genome have made the discovery of
single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers difficult in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum). To …

Background Cultivated cotton is an annual fiber crop derived mainly from two perennial
species, Gossypium hirsutum L. or upland cotton, and G. barbadense L., extra long-staple …

The rapid advancement of sequencing technology, including next-generation sequencing
(NGS), has greatly improved sequencing efficiency and decreased cost. Consequently …

Background Cotton, with a large genome, is an important crop throughout the world. A high-
density genetic linkage map is the prerequisite for cotton genetics and breeding. A genetic …
